Re-rolling from Warrior, thoughts?

Basically defiance, but mit instead of HP and 5% less; cancels out if you do sword oath. It's still a dynamic activate

You are an idiot. Shield Oath is a static buff that is up 100% of the time and reduces all damage by 20%, 100% of the time.

It isn't, the same way Defiance isn't. It's a buff that stays active until disabled by something, but you still have to activate it.

You have been wrong about almost everything you've posted in this thread.

20% damage reduction is a far more effective skill than 25% more HP with a variable 15% increased healing.

20% reduction works, effectively, as 25% more HP and 25% increased healing received. Under ideal circumstances it will take 8.6% more healing to heal a warrior to full health (i.e. sitting on 5 stacks of wrath) than it will take for a PLD.

Once you add convalescence into the mix for both WAR and PLD, it changes dramatically. Under convalesence a PLD will require a whopping 20% less healing to top off because the effective increased healing from shield oath and the convalesence buff stack multiplicatively rather than additively.

Aside from that, your numbers for Inner Beast sound like nonsense.
